ProjectStrengthening Institutional and Technical Capacity for Safe Food through Implementation of Food Safety Measures and Certification Schemes for Agricultural Products in Cambodia to Combat “COVID-19” - TCP/CMB/3803 2024

No results found.Agriculture plays an important role in Cambodia’s economy, accounting for about 45 percent of the country’s gross domestic product and providing employment to around two thirds of the total labour force. The sector’s impressive growth over the past decade has contributed significantly to poverty reduction; however, agricultural production remains low, and many agricultural products are poor in quality. Legislative measures are either absent or not enforced, and similarly to other countries in the region, issues with food safety and sanitary and phytosanitary measures cause import rejections from relevant markets. Insufficient awareness of actors along the supply chain about hygiene and good practices related to handling, transport and storage leads to the frequent occurrence of food-borne illnesses, and the presence of live bird markets in most provinces in the country is believed to promote the amplification and dissemination of avian influenza. These issues negatively affect the livelihoods of producers, and supply chain participants and food vendors as consumers often associate food with illness rather than security and nutrition. That being said, there is an increased demand for safe and quality products both in domestic and international markets, opening up promising opportunities for smallholder farmers in Cambodia. -
